[Chorus]

Ash building on my idle cigarette

Deep in a trance, reliving my regrets

Until it finally reaches and burns my fingertips

Oh, goddamn, not again, not again


[Verse 1]

I tried to move on, it's been way too long

Let's get a move on, it's like you're glued on

At least all this overthinking write me new songs

Looking back, I finally recognize I did you wrong

Was so quick to run

Strike and you're done

Giving my all or nothing at all, don't play with my love

Egotistic, hedonistic

Versace red dress match the Dior lipstick

I got good reason not to trust these bitches

Been wrong two times so I'm too forgiving

Said, I'm done with tryna find the onе

My heart is just so numb, I'm low on the patiencе

Manipulation means hesitation

And separation, self-preservation


[Chorus]

Ash building on my idle cigarette

Deep in a trance, reliving my regrets

Until it finally reaches and burns my fingertips

Oh, goddamn, not again, not again


[Verse 2]

I ain't hiding how I feel

I might try to keep it real with you baby, I said

I swear that your touch can heal

But your words been killing me lately

Put you away so frustrated

Been oh so lonesome, gotta up my doses

I'm self-indulging, high at the moment

I can't control it, drugs been controlling me

Hoping I OD off the 2C-B


[Chorus]

Ash building on my idle cigarette

Deep in a trance, reliving my regrets

Until it finally reaches and burns my fingertips

Oh goddamn, not again, not again

I used to swerve and crash in slow motion

Somehow I still never saw it coming

I'm doing substances to replace our loving

Oh, goddamn, not again, not again


[Outro]

In slow motion

I still never saw it coming
